Entering its second year, the Indiana Pacers School Fundraising Program saw over 100 schools participate, 28,000 tickets purchased and $185,000 raised for local schools in the first year. The program is free and schools K-12 can come out with their community to Pacers games and win great prizes along the way! There’s no up front costs and it will be the easiest fundraiser your school will do all year!

How it Works

A memorable experience - Students sell discounted tickets to their family, friends and neighbors. They can choose tickets to your school’s night and/or three alternative dates. On your school’s night, you’ll be able to sit together, cheer on the school when it’s displayed on our giant scoreboard and have a representative on the main court for a check presentation. Your top school seller will participate in a unique experience such as slapping hands with a Pacers player.

Easy for the School - We’ll deliver all of your marketing materials including posters and catalogs to be distributed. We’ll customize ideas with your school contact and create unique experiences such has having a student sing the national anthem or a dance group perform at halftime. We’ll help you figure out how to raise the most possible amount of money while having fun in the process! There’s no upfront costs whatsoever.

Amazing Prizes- Every student that turns in an order form will receive a complimentary premium Pacers Cinch Bag! Then, start collecting prizes (all cumulative) as you sell more tickets. Top prizes include personalized jerseys and Meet & Greets with players. The top overall seller in the program will have a Pacers Player personally visit their school!

Fundraising - Tickets are discounted off the regular price and range from $12-$60. Schools can make up to $15 per ticket.

All of the great prizes are cumulative based on the total tickets sold on your order form regardless of price (ex. Sell 30 tickets and receive all prizes from 30 tickets and below). All school program group tickets count too!

“I would be happy to indicate that you are good guys to work with, and we have appreciated your accessibility, concern for detail, and willingness to work with us to customize the process for each of our schools.”

Dr. Bill RiggsSuperintendent, Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation

“It takes a lot to get me excited about something new because it just adds work to my plate. But you seem to have it pretty mapped out and I know our kids will be excited. I can’ tell you how excited I am about this program. No doubt my friends and family were tired of hearing about it this weekend. This seems to be a different kind of fundraiser that I think our school can turn into something big.”

Principal Tim ClevengerIPS 74

“When I try to tell others about it, I don’t know where to start because there are just so many exciting points to cover! I will try to keep myself contained until the actual fundraiser starts-that way I will have a little energy left to sell those tickets!!”

“This is the first outsourced fundraiser I have considered in a long time because it is a non-brainer for us.”
